Gender Reveal Cake

There is a growing trend with expectant moms and dads to find out the baby’s gender with a party. The parents receive news of the baby’s gender in a sealed envelope and then use creative ways to share the surprise. My favorite way is using cake of course! But I haven’t had the chance to make a gender reveal cake until recently.

In this case, the expectant dad couldn’t make it to the doctors appointment to find out the gender of his baby. The mom wanted to share in the surprise so she had me bake a cake in the revealing color (pink or blue). The family cut into the cake together and was able to share in the surprise…

It’s a girl! I baked a vanilla cake and colored it pink. Then I covered the entire cake in white buttercream roses. I tried so hard to make sure no crumbs were peeking out, that would have ruined the surprise! I added a pink and blue fondant bunting to the top of the cake to add to the suspense. This was so much fun to be a part of, and I’m so glad I was sent this picture after the cake was cut!
